US Open Tennis 2017: Men

Men’s tennis has been off to an exciting start. Upsets and revivals have already rocked the courts. If you’re looking to get into betting, you’ll want to keep an eye on our top ten contenders in male tennis.

Top 10 Men

Novak Djokovic

Andy Murray

Roger Federer

Rafael Nadal

Stanislas Wawrinka

Nick Kyrgios

Juan Martin del Potro aka Delpo

Milos Raonic

Grigor Dimitrov

Kei Nishikori

Novak Djokovic

The seven-times US Open finalist is off to a promising start this year after defeating Andy Murray at Doha. Djokovic claimed titles at Indian Wells and Miami in 2011, and in the last three years.

Andy Murray

Holding the number one rank in the world makes Murray a sure thing for our list of top ten men’s tennis players for the US Open Tennis 2017. He recently won the tournament in Dubai.

Roger Federer

Is it enough to say being Roger Federer is enough reason to give him a high-placing spot on our list? If not, he recently won the Australia Open and since January has risen from a ranking of 17 to six.

Rafael Nadal

After winning at Acapulco in 2005 and 2013 on a red clay court, Nadal made it to this year’s finals on a hard court, only to be defeated by Federer. Still, his impressive performance earns him a spot on our top ten.

Stanislas Wawrinka

How could we not include last year’s US Open men’s singles champion? Wawrinka is worth watching for this year’s tournament.

Nick Kyrgios

Kyrgios is on a roll, having recently made it to the semi-finals in Miami. Keep your eyes on him as we approach the US Open.

Delpo

Juan Martin del Potro is another top player who claimed the US Open 2009 title after defeating Nadal and Federer. He made it to the semi-finals in both the 2009 French Open and Wimbledon 2013.

Milos Raonic

Ranked number three in November 2016, Raonic is a must-have on our top ten list. He made it to the Wimbledon finals in 2016, and the semi-finals in the 2016 Australia Open.

Grigor Dimitrov

After his performance in the Sofia championship, we couldn’t exclude Dimitrov–especially not after he made the Australia Open semi-finals this year. He also made it to the Wimbledon semi-finals in 2014.

Kei Nishikori

With previous stellar performance–making the finals in the US Open Tennis 2014–Nishikori is another must-watch tennis pro.
